I did say that if boox added a SIM card to their Palms id buy it immediately.
So the Palma 2 Pro is on pre order and I’m excited to try using eink as a daily driver.
Plus navigating using android as an Apple person.
Notes
Short-form thoughts, links, and updates.
I gotta say, getting back into music libraries with FLACs and MP3s and meta tagging, I really see why we gave all this malarkey up and switched to streaming services.
Really enjoying using my iPod again, but it’s making me earn for a headphone jack on my phone and/or boox palma.
So I could super easily switch headphones between devices.
Rather than fumbling for a USB-C to 3.55mm jack connector that I’ve definitely lost.
Finally got round to installing my flash quad in this old iPod
Happy New Pokémon Day to those who celebrate.
As one of the probably 3 fans of Pokémon X and Y I am so excited for Legends Z/A today.
So incredible sad I can’t make @ffconf this year.
But you should all pop along and buy tickets the speakers look fantastic.

Me: I’ll start using fountain pens, because then I won’t waste as much by buying too many pens
Also me:
Me cancelling game pass just because I finished Avowed and didn’t read any of the news:
Re organised under the sink before work today.
Absolute zen.
Fun behind the scenes fact:
- I was in fact drinking Disaronno because whiskey makes my tummy hurt.
Hrm maybe this is the right time to finally go down that rabbit hole of self hosting my own sites on a raspberry pi in my cupboard.
Me sipping from my whiskey.
Western music plays.
A shadow casts as he enters.
“You thought you’d never see me again” he says.
I move my hand to my holster.
“Custom DatePicker, this town ain’t big enough for the both of us”
This has stuck in my mind from re-reading Asimov’s Complete Robot recently:
“Technology’s gone robot-happy. Any job has to have a robot, or the engineer in charge feels cheated. You want a doorstop; buy a robot with a thick foot.”
And I’m still trying to wrap up: Avowed, Donkey Kong Bananza and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
There are too many games coming out I wanna play:

Re-reading a bunch of Asimov stuff and I am just enchanted by the 90s ere cover art. Especially Chris Moore.
Unsure if this is real or just perception, but since AI tools really boomed I get SO much more spam email. Particularly well structured, but still evidently spam, emails.
Each day I wish to retreat further towards the hand written letter for communication.
Yesssss Die is getting a sequel this November
Really wish there was a british/european equivalent of the Toyo Toolbox. It’s gorgeous and perfect for what I need, but would be nice to buy slightly more local.
